If it were an endangered species, then it would be dangerous. According to the information shared by these netizens, breeding endangered species was also illegal. Transportation, purchase, and sale all constituted serious offenses, violating the law against the illegal hunting and killing of precious and endangered wildlife. This charge encompassed all kinds of selling and purchasing activities.

My grandfather's parrot... seems to have been bought from someone else?

Thinking of this, Qing Lan also became anxious. From the information shared by the netizens, all endangered wildlife were prohibited from being sold. Without trade, private breeding constituted illegal breeding without a license. If a transaction occurred, both parties involved might be committing a crime.

"No, I need to find time to call Grandpa and ask him about the parrot's species."

The more Qing Lan thought about it, the more frightened she became, feeling that raising birds was very dangerous. It was like a minefield everywhere; one careless misstep could land her in jail.

Afterward, she browsed the forum some more. More and more netizens were spreading knowledge about wildlife protection regulations in the Study Law section. For instance, in addition to precious and endangered wildlife, terrestrial wildlife that were beneficial or of significant economic and scientific research value were also protected by the state. These animals are commonly known as the "Three 'Haves' Animals." Lizards, frogs, toads, and so on—illegally hunting more than twenty of them constituted a crime. In the countryside, many people were accustomed to hunting these animals for game.

Even to this day, this law is still not widely disseminated, and not many people are aware of it. In reality, every year, quite a few people are sentenced for this reason. There are also animals such as land tortoises, eagles, and monkeys, all of which are protected wildlife and are on the protection list.

"That's terrifying..." After reading the forum, Qing Lan felt a lingering fear. Luckily, she didn't have a habit of hunting or breeding these animals. Otherwise, she might have broken the law and gotten herself thrown in jail.

Huh? Why does this person's account nickname seem so familiar?

After browsing through the forum, just as Qing Lan was about to log out, she suddenly noticed the nickname of the person who posted the popular thread—the account that first brought up this outrageous case. The nickname was "Xiao Qin." His personal page was empty; there was nothing at all.

An idea flashed through her mind. She quickly thought of Qin Mu's WeChat nickname. She was the only one among the many fans who had added Qin Mu's private account. She remembered very clearly that Qin Mu's account was also called Xiao Qin.

Could it be that the poster... is Qin Mu?

She swallowed nervously again, her expression somewhat odd. The people in the forum felt so unrestrained because they thought the forum was very safe. Most people believed that Qin Mu didn't know about this forum due to its confidentiality measures. Who knew that Qin Mu had secretly infiltrated this forum long ago? He even pretended to be just another netizen, posting and interacting with others. He had even put forward such an outlandish "case" to stir up heated discussions among the users.

Could it be... that this case actually exists?

Qing Lan came to her senses, her breathing a bit rapid. Sentenced to twelve years! If it was real, how desperate must the involved party be? Just for raising a few parrots, yet they ended up facing such a heavy sentence!

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became. She couldn't help but open WeChat to send a message to Qin Mu. She asked tentatively, "Up, are you busy lately? Is there a new case you're taking on?"

「Qianzhou.」

In a certain residential complex.

"I've said it time and again, my forum does not take ads, no ads!" Ma Ming hung up the phone impatiently, his face somewhat grim.

As the traffic to the Study Law Alliance Forum grew, he often received calls from various dubious advertisers. They offered increasingly high prices for him to place ads on his forum. But those people only saw the money and completely ignored the risks of advertising. He had leveraged Qin Mu's fame to gather such a large group of fans. If he accepted ads and Qin Mu discovered it, the consequences would be unimaginable. For the sake of his personal safety, he firmly resisted profiting from the forum.

From the very start of the forum, he had firmly embraced this concept. As long as he didn't seek profit, his forum was merely a hub for community gathering and exchange. It didn't carry much risk.

"It's time to delete posts."

After putting down his phone, Ma Ming opened the forum's backend. He ran a program to filter out the risky comments. Although these netizens had all joined after watching Qin Mu's videos and generally knew what could and couldn't be said, the forum was growing. With more people, it was inevitable that a few newcomers, unaware of the seriousness, would appear. They hadn't witnessed Qin Mu's "terror" firsthand, so their speech wasn't always very prudent.

What's going on? Why are all these posts about parrots?

After opening the backend, Ma Ming froze for a moment as he looked at the various posts that had been flagged. In the Study Law Alliance section, seven or eight out of ten posts were discussing parrots. The content being discussed was also peculiar and diverse.

"Parrots are typical climbing birds. They have zygodactyl feet, with two toes facing forward and two backward, suitable for grasping. They also have strong beaks capable of eating hard-shelled fruits."

"Aside from three kinds of parrots, all others are considered endangered wildlife and are strictly protected. You cannot carelessly keep, buy, or sell them."

"Here's something else you might not know: hunting twenty or more wild sparrows also violates criminal law. This act constitutes the crime of illegal hunting and is considered a serious offense, punishable by up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention, or public surveillance!"
